Potential customers with an iPhone are captive to that platform due to extensive lock-in, including financial investments guarded by Apple DRM. The amount of budget that is thereby worth allocating to literally double your potential market can be extremely high. Hell: often you go into business to solve a problem that you, yourself, had... and you might yourself be bought into the "wrong" platform (which is itself very specific... like, this article is fascinating as generally it is Android that has audio APIs so bad that even people willing to move mountains simply can't make their software work correctly... this is the first I have heard of an audio developer hating hard on Apple's API).

I was a 14 year old girl in the 90s and I share your surprise its only one in three. I would guess the majority of my peers were unhappy with their appearance at that time based on my experience and observations.

I was one too. I (objectively) looked just fine but I thought I was a disfigured ghoul.
What a great write up and very open and honest. The timeline format is amazingly clean and I am a sucker for timelines.

I think the product is great and the name bannerbear really is memorable. I think that is a major key along with a great product. You have to be able to remember the name easily without effort and the two word format works well for human memory. Being high up in the alphabet is smart as well in terms of lists, it may not help much later but early on naming like this is important.

> I would do one week of code, then spend the following week tweeting / blog posting about what I shipped — then repeat

That is gold for indie/small business value creation and extraction. Many times marketing is like audio/sound for games, an afterthought for the programmer/creator/product person. Here you have a system that locked it in but only after creating, how it is supposed to be. I think it is a great way to avoid burnout as well, you are refreshed on both creating and promoting on those weeks.

I believe that there is value creation (product/creative/engineering) and value extraction (marketing/business/finance) and it has to be in that order. There has to be enough value created to value extract and this system is quite nice.

More excellent point:

This is how you make products people love. Even if it is only a few minutes a day, when people use a product if it is fun or refreshing and makes their lives easier, that is game mechanic that is replayed. Same goes for games, it is all in the basic game mechanic, it has to be fun. Focus on the lives of the user/player of your product. I like to parallel that to like a fun game or a comicstrip, bring joy to people even if it is only a very small slice of their day, it will be a good part of their day. Make your product a "friend" of the user/player.

You have all the little details that make your presentation fun like a good indie game with details and easily approachable. Even your subscribe form has a refreshing way to look at the captcha, rather than "confirm you aren't a robot" it is "confirm Humanity". Nice touch, but your presentation is a series of nice touches. Well played, these things are hard to instill in company cultures and usually only present in smaller more product people, or even gaming, focused projects.

I just love everything presented, it has that thing that makes it fun.

Congrats on your success Jon Yongfook I am sure you are headed to much higher ground with your North Star in focus all along.
WPA PSK unfortunately couples encryption and authentication, so users require the key at all times.

Your key is too simple if it's easier to spell out. :)
The problem is the fact that they are willing to do shady things like that to avoid taxes. The fact that they're allowed to do that is a bug in the law, yes, but doesn't take any of their blame away.

This became at a game at one of my old workplaces.

The company was in the business of buying up smaller companies, and naturally every manager wanted to stay a manager. So there was like 8 layers of management.

If we asked for money, time or resources we would take guesses as to how far up the chain it would get before it got rejected.

And it SO often got rejected, because a random manager was feeling less important and wanted to assert their power they used to have.
Right. This article is about what is called low-dimensional topology.
can't even access my vanguard account. Hearing reports from friends/family across the board that they can't access their financial accounts. Fidelity, Schwab, more.
Most people reading this are probably aware of the distinction in technical, legal terms. But it doesn't matter, because we're not prosecutors or the IRS.

But I still call it tax evasion colloquially, because I'm just an average Joe who can't prosecute anyone so my legal opinion doesn't matter. My judgement is not whether it's illegal, but whether it's immoral and scummy.

My neighbor, a self-employed painter, claiming his work truck (that he also uses to pull the family camper) as a depreciating business asset is tax avoidance, and I can get behind that. Ikea registering as a nonprofit with 99% overhead is tax evasion, and it's scummy.

Society, as represented by the government, wants charities to exist to assist with causes that society values, like, I suppose, architecture. They encourage this through the tax code. Society also want for-profit businesses to pay their fair share of taxes. This is blatantly a deceitful manipulation of the tax code, whether it's legal or not I don't care, they've abused the law to do things it wasn't intended to do
There ought to be a site where you could list the name of a company like that without fear of repercussions.

Because that's usually how it goes. It appears that every bit of skepticism has been thrown out the window. I think a lot of people are about to get burned who expected riches. And all because of empty promises by anonymous message board users. It's disconcerting.
Imagine you are the chairman of Phillip Morris in 1995. You control one of the biggest companies in the world, absolutely full of cash. You also know that your product is just bad all around for everybody whether they use it or not. One of your corporate lawyers tells you that you need to immediately break yourself up, sell off all the components to foreign buyers, cease all operations in the United States, and cash out the company to the shareholders. You pass; this will be no big deal. The next three years are living hell, morning to night sitting in a courthouse listening to your customers detail how you destroyed their lives. At the end you get a $200B settlement against you, your company is dead, everybody hates you, and you are no longer welcome in any of your social circles. Was it worth it? If a company is required to do the best thing for the shareholders, then shouldn’t it require them to cash out at the zenith of their value? Otherwise if they are going to ride all the way down, how is the stock ever worth anything?
There's a difference between something being available somewhere on the Internet (when Internet access was 56K from a desktop computer featuring prominently in your family room) and having it shared with you specifically to your smartphone.
There was a story yesterday (I'm not sure of its validity) that Citadel has paid for advance knowledge for Robin Hood stock transactions, so they are almost certainly making money on this.

And unsurprisingly they've fronted money to at least 1 of the hedge funds on the wrong side of these trades. They're probably making bank. A couple of particular hedge funds will lose money.

But what happens to the people who are carrying GME when this frenzy ends and no one is willing to buy GME at a $24Bn market cap valuation.

They end up being the ones who paid for everyone else to "lose their shirts".

This. Im 29 and share the same experience.

And we can even go further back; have people checked, old black & white cartoon? Some of them are so blatantly propaganda/politica/visual horrific that they wouldn't even be aired for 15 y.o today. If you take a closer look, even Tom & Jerry is quite violent, and most Japanese animation that air on kids TV-channel back then also, very sexual.

And these things were airing on TV, broadcasting at a specific time and all you had to do as a kid was to push a couple of buttons to access it.

Structuring React Components
Hum... You summarized it very well, and I just can not agree with that idea.

Flicking a switch is a very powerful and revealing experiment.
Amusingly, you could analyze anything this way if you ignore the benefits and only look at the costs.

"Planes are an outrage! Imagine if you proposed a system that required hours of everyone's time, cost them hundreds of dollars, forced them to sit in cramped positions, and subjected them to invasive scans and searches of their personal materials."

"How are schools allowed! They literally imprison our kids for upwards of 7 hours a day, feed them substandard food, and subject them to Orwellian surveillance, exorbitant record-keeping, cruel social hierarchies, and a stress-inducing grading system akin to a dystopian social credit system."

I'm not saying the downsides aren't in fact downsides. They are. But you can't accurately assess the whole picture without taking the upsides into account, too.

I enjoyed reading this, but what is the reason for the big orange boxes that quote from later in the article? I see other publications do this and always found it distracting. Is there a reason for it, is it for the benefit of modern internet users with poor attention skills?
You have two nasolacrimal ducts that connect your nose to your eyes. Moreover, the upper end of the tear duct has two openings. Thus you have at least seven holes.

Usually it's rooting for the market to come to its senses. And sometimes it's good when a company fails.

BTW, this could be said about long investors, they're hoping for their competitors to fail.
I started asking these:

- What's the roadmap for this year? This gives me a lot of insight on what I could be working on, and also if the company is a bit clueless about their direction.

- What would I do in the position I'm being interviewed for? This completes the picture, similar to the previous one, but different perspective.
Show HN: Godate.io – helps you to format go dates
Go uses an interesting approach to format time.
Instead of using `%Y-%m-%d` layout you should specify a special layout parameter `Mon Jan 2 15:04:05 MST 2006` the same way as the time or date should be formatted. Sometimes it's confusing, especially beginners who have switched from other languages.
GoDate.io is intended to help convert more familiar date patterns to GO's ones.
I have an opposite version of this where I find myself frustrated that I can't discuss certain topics offline with my social circle. I'm happy to have an outlet for this, even if it might have other negative consequences. It depends on your personality profile I suppose. I find intense arguments relaxing.
I didn't go into it much in the article but the Culture are very much not humans, although many of the species that went into them are human-ish - in the story where they encounter Earth, they mention having fewer toes and more finger joints than Earth-standard humans.

Also Banks would agree with you that the Culture does not fit with human nature - he has talked elsewhere (I think it's in the CNN interview I cite for one, but elsewhere too) about how fundamentally different they are in behavioral norms (partly due to extensive genetic engineering to change basic aspects of their cognition, which people may peg as dystopian but which Banks viewed as a positive thing).
This is great. I’d also like to ask about how fast the decisions are made.

One good way to move people out of platitudes is that if, say, an IC says that there’s no problem with initiatives getting accepted more broadly - ask them for a specific example they were involved with.
"Social media bad" is much more palpable than grappling with the fact that mental illness is a complicated problem with many contributing factors. Very frustrating because the researchers suggest increasing mental health resources and exercise, whereas the headline suggests social media as the much easier scapegoat.
While I don't think you should be downvoted, I think you are probably wrong - there is quite a bit difference in the passmark ratings.

The first was shot with a 400mm lens; looking at the second (the 28mm shot), you can see a grouping of people across the width of the path in the distance. It's possible that the shots were taken roughly at the same time and location, minutes a few seconds, depending on whether the photographer had to swap lenses. That said, it's not a very useful example when it comes to demonstrating the effect, and the framing with the rows of trees converging make it even worse.

There's a link higher in the discussion[0] I think better demonstrates how differences in perspective and the distance between subject and background can distort how we perceive an image than photos taken in the same spot. There are two photos of the same socially-distanced line, one taken with a telephoto lens looking down the line and another that was taken with a wider lens from the side.

The change in camera position makes the difference incredibly obvious, even more so than two photos shot from the same location.

What's unfortunate is that the first photo in the link, with the people's faces laid out across the frame diagonally, is the more aesthetically pleasing photo and also the more likely one for a photojournalist to shoot. It showcases more of the people present, highlights the emotions at play amongst the people in line, places them in a vibrant and moving city context, and pulls the viewer's eye along a specific path. Ask a photojournalist, and it's basically the framing that comes to mind when they think "people standing in line on a sidewalk." And there's no question which of the two an editor would choose in pre-pandemic times.

But given the social distancing taking place in the line, it's also significantly less faithful to the actual moment being captured. And that goes against everything an ethical photojournalist strives for.

Afaik they can't. The European Commission can. Which is not elected.
Makes sense overall, but why would they care about getting it published in an English-language Western journal? If they just want to convince their own people they can publish it in state-owned media, and it's not a democracy so it's not like they really need to convince anyone.
That’s nothing. In our case he was engaged in a text message conversation.

We did our research through TrueCar, Consumer reports, and using free vehicle history lookups for anything that didn't already include a free Carfax report to find the exact used VIN we wanted to buy. The Carvana model is a neat idea but we found there was a little bit of a premium on identical models sold through them versus brick and mortar dealerships nearby.

> My Android allows to share the password with a QR code

Seems eminently sensible, no dependency on WiFi or Bluetooth stacks and works cross-platform.

A QR also lets you force the recipient onto a guest SSID instead of your LAN
There's another side to this, though. Letting kids roam the internet can give ones who might otherwise be doomed to become misfits an opportunity to find community. Being a queer kid pre-Internet, for example, sucked, and the Web rolling out to households changed a lot of kids' lives. And we have a poor cultural memory of what that experience used to be like, because, before the rise of online communities, a big part of being queer - especially being a queer kid - was being subjected to systematic erasure.

I'm not sure how you balance those two things. My sense, though, is that the balance was better 20, 25 years ago, when the Internet had more small, individualized communities. Most of them have since been squashed by the rise of the social media oligopoly.
Its probably because the best guis are written by JS devs, so the end stack becomes the way they're used to seeing it.
I think you are using the wrong building blocks. Build your own blocks or use ones that are solid with good test coverage and many of those issues go away.

the l3 cache wasn't doubled, the amount any 1 core can access at once was doubled. However that also came with a small latency penalty.
> In my experience, which is limited to phone cameras and the like, they seem to produce realistic images at short ranges, but a landscape picture looks much smaller and more distant than how the scene seems to me as I take it, unless I zoom in. That has me wondering if there is some geometry that would give realistic-looking pictures at all distances? Perhaps if the camera is sized such that the lens-to-sensor distance is about the same as the eye-to-picture distance when viewing the images?

If you have access to camera with a manual hardware zoom, put it up to your right eye, keep your left eye open. Adjust the zoom on the camera until what you see with your right and lines up with what you see with your left.

That’s the perspective that you see at. Do this with a few friends and you’ll find out that you all see at slightly different “zoom levels,” meaning there can’t be an out of the box universal “eyesight lens.”
An anecdote, at the risk of sounding old:

Back when I was a kid, if we had internet access at all, we mostly used it for the community aspect. A fan of some book? Search for it on Altavista and you likely found some kind of fan site which had a little bulletin board community organized around it. Or maybe a usenet group. A few minutes down the road you were talking to strangers on the other side of the planet about something you were all actively interested in. Hell, even radio stations had their own chat rooms and forums. Many free software tools had dedicated IRC channels. Mailing lists and usenet groups abound.

These communities were all interest based, and there were sooooo many of them. Because they were interest based, they mostly attracted people who at least had something in common with you, which made it easy to relate to them. And because people are not onedimensional, they were often part of many different communities. Which, aside from being fun, was also a great way to learn how to interact with people all over the world.

Sure, flame wars were a thing, and I'm sure people were bullied and whatnot. Community moderation worked pretty well, though (as someone who administered a 10k+ members forum) it could be a lot of work. But no one ever damaged their mental health by frequenting a knitting forum.

Facebook pretty much destroyed all of these (or at least decimated them). Perhaps these groups are still around, but it's now actively hard to find them. FB does not foster a sense of community. It's not a platform where you will learn anything about any topic. It's not an environment that's conducive to improving personal interactions. It attempted to centralize those things, and it failed. Instead of paying attention to things that interest us, we now have FB and its ilk begging us to please pay attention to their garbage. I miss actual communities, warts and all, and I think that young people's mental health would be better off if they made a return.

Final note: yes, there are exceptions, I know it's not all quite as bad as I'm dramatizing here.
'abuse' is a subjective word, you could have left off the 'ab' and you sentence would still be correct, arguably more correct. Also, why not consider that by using the complex web of tax laws to their advantage allows them to sell products at a lower price. This allows folks with lower incomes to enjoy similar products to those who can afford getting their stuff from more posh places. One could judge Ikea to be more ethical for this practice.
Not necessarily. I think sometimes those committees are composed of people who never will work with a perspective employee. That isn't bad, but I think a team should have its on sub-culture and be able to make decisions for itself most of the time. I really only have experience with smaller? teams 5 - 10 people.
With an access point that supports really good beam forming.
The semantics of latch are a little simpler, which leaves room for a lighter weight implementation than is typically associated with condition variables. Barriers are closer, but also have slightly simpler semantics, again allowing for a potentially lighter weight implementation.

But the semantics are not sufficiently different as to allow for any notably new use cases/code flow, certainly not from the examples I've seen. Every one of them could have been written using condition variables at any point in the last 30 years and would look almost indistinguishable.
I know that banks says they're set in different universes, but the Affront/Issorilians are clearly the juvenile version of the Dweller species described in the Algebraist. (Thank you Culture Fandom wiki for this moment of utter nerdery :)
C only got there, because UNIX just like the Browser did to JavaScript, has placed it everywhere.

This happened only because Bell Labs/AT&T were forbidden to sell UNIX, hence its source code spread across the industry, with a symbolic price that made it by comparison with other OS vendors feel almost as quite cheap beer.

During the 80's and early 90's, C only mattered in universities and companies that had access to some kind of UNIX flavour.

Everywhere else we had Assembly, Modula-2, Pascal and Basic flavours, BLISS and some PL/I variants like PL/M on CP/M.

So when you happen to have UNIX, and a C compiler around, trying to bring people to use something else, it is the same as trying to replace JavaScript on the browser.

So we come up with our CoffeScript and Typescript likes for systems programming, but C (even in C++, Objective-C) is always there.
